People record history for many varying reasons. Some for future references, or so that it can be remembered and learned from later. Some may record smaller, more personal pieces of history for later entertainment or memories. Also, decisions one made yesterday can help them make their next decisions. Pretty much no one sees history, or anything for that matter, the same way. One object can be photographed in an infinite number of ways. Each angle opens up a new part and view of an object. The angle is not the only thing that affects how one sees an object though. Where the object is for example, affects how one sees it, just like the environment affects ones decisions, and then later, history. When one is photographing an object, they can look at it from the right, left, top, bottom, and every direction in between. Even from all of these different angles, a person's past experiences or encounters with this object can affect what they think of this object. As you can see, there is an unending list of factors that affect one's view of anything, so there is no possible way that anyone can see something the same way as the person next to them.
The picture shows a good example of something that people view differently. Each small turn of the globe unveils a different area or side of the world. Each person from each different country may view their country as the most important. In this example, the form matters too. When it is in the form of a map, a certain area is perceived to be in the middle.
